Brand Ass New

Sade has a new song! I repeat, Sade has a new song!

For the first time in 8 years, and implicitly at the request of director Ava DuVernay, the literal Gawdess herself, Sade, has emerged from the ether to contribute a new song to the ‘Wrinkle in Time’ soundtrack. From the director:

“I never thought she’d say yes, but asked anyway. She was kind and giving. A goddess. We began a journey together that I’ll never forget. Proud to announce that Sade has created an original song for WRINKLE IN TIME. It’s entitled “Flower of the Universe.” And it’s a dream come true!” – Ava DuVernay.

The soundtrack will also include a remix of the “Flower of the Universe” song by I.D, the wunderkind producer behind Jay Z’s ‘4:44’ album. As if that was not enough, the album will also feature songs from Bay Area artist Kehlani (hey bae) and the California hip hop legends Freestyle Fellowship, among others. I cannot even begin to tell you how stoked I was to see their name on the track listing.

Have I ever told you my Aceyalone story? … Oh man. Remind me to tell you one of these days. It’s gold.

Wrinkle in Time is scheduled to be released in theaters March 9th, and the soundtrack will be available for purchase the same day. Trust and believe I will make sure to post it for you <3 With a movie based on the science fiction phenomenon by Madeline L'engle, combined with powerhouses Oprah Winfrey and Ava DuVernay manning the proverbial helm, this movie is much anticipated.
The soundtrack, thanks to this Sade song, is now at the top of my list. LOL
Take a look at the preview below in the meantime.
